Did what it needed to do for a long run of coaxNeeded to move the telly to a different room, and it involved about 15 metres of coax cable, in 1m, 4m and 10m lengths. The freeview box not unreasonably reported 1 bar and 1 bar for strength and quality. HD channels pretty much dead, some SD ones okay. Got this unit after some research. Plugged it in. Bars jumped to 3-4 and 10. Perfectly solid HD picture. Really pleased with that result. Would have got the 2 port model (which gets 5* as it has no 1* reviews to spoil the average) but it wasn't in store.

Recently purchased and connected to sky rf2 outlet, sends good digital signal to 3 x tvs, but sky is snowy. If I bypass amplifier and connect any of the tvs directly to rf2 outlet they will receive digital and sky perfectly. What's the problem??

Current TV will only receive itv channels and these sometimes break &nbsp;, will the Nikkai product improve this or do you recommend something else. PS this upstairs TV is linked in to the main TV supply Cheers Ian

Asked by: Cycling

We cannot say this will completely cure the issue you are having, but it will amplify the signal so it would make it more reliable.

best way to open lugs to wall mount this unit. cant believe that metal has to be punched out.

Asked by: paul

The item is made of plastic but unfortunately not wall mountable, if you was to punch holes into the unit (not recommended) it will void the warranty if it needs to be replaced at all in the future.
